What are some medical claims associated with Tibetan Buddhist monks?
Most of those medical claims were studied by the Westerners! The Tibetan Buddhist monks did not come out and tell the whole world about that! During deep meditation stage, the study showed that the monks have achieved raising temperature, lower respiratory and heart rates. As I still remember from the article I read 10 years ago, a respiratory rate of 2 per minute and heart rate of 15 to 20 x/ minutes! In medical term, that is impossible! I don’t really have any explanation! But as a Buddhist myself, I know some Chinese Buddhist monks who practice Zen Buddhism have gone through deep meditation stage–7 to 14 days straight without eating or drinking!
